Who is hungry?

shop face lift


much needed cleaning and painting. saw on hgtv that painting a small space two colors (light over dark) creates the illusion of a bigger room.

Kiss me...


...you fool!

Proud...



...of my first upholstery job. 40 year-old seats with welded up springs, new padding and fresh vinyl. Now if I can just fix the starter...I've been working on some custom boards and board bags for the festival. I'll post pics soon...

Support Your Local Shaper



There are way too many phenomenal shapers in your neighborhood, leaving you, the surfer, no excuse to order a custom surfboard from one of these men and women.

It seems counterfeit Zippi fish are showing up in Southern California. Mike Zippi brought one to the recent AB3 gathering. Look at the pictures and check out the thread.

Only way to prevent this, is to talk to your shaper and keep it custom.

went for a leisurely swim with brother and niece only to find a big, beautiful monk seal working on his suntan and a big, ugly van blocking the entrance.
